1 No official entomologist, and what entomological work is done is incidental to other lines of agricultural effort. 



2 In Arizona, bee inspection is supported by fees collected from bee keepers; in Colorado, is carried on without special 

 funds. 



3 In Alabama, some of the other listed funds are spent for special work against the boll weevil; amounts listed for 

 California and New Jersey are for mosquito control; for Connecticut. Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and 

 Rhode Island and the National Bureau of Entomology for gipsy moth and brown-tail moth control, and in the latter 

 state in part for San Jose scale and elm-leaf beetle work. In Massachusetts various Park and Highway Commissions and 

 Metropolitan Water and Sewerage Board also spent $85,900.81. 



■< In addition to amount listed large sums are appropriated by certain counties for orchard inspection; in California the 

 amount is estimated at $1,000,000, employing 400 men for more or less time; in Oregon, $15,000 and in Utah, $10,000. 



5 In these states still larger funds are available: Minnesota, .$3,000; New York, $60,000 in all; Pennsylvania, $83,000 

 in 1913. 



' Supported in part or entirely by fees from nurserymen, which are not Usted. In ^'irginia $2,000 is obtained from this 

 source. 



' Approximate figures even are difficult to obtain, — certainly not less than amount given. 



s Done without special funds or handled indirectly. 



The extent to which the various states were engaged in these differ- 

 ent activities during 1912 is briefly summarized as follows: Forty-one 

 states provided for regular instruction in entomology in the agri- 

 cultural colleges, and forty-three states appropriated funds for the 

 maintenance of experimental and investigational work. Twenty-six^ 

 states were engaged in research studies under the Adams Fund on 

 about fifty-seven entomological projects, which were financed at an 

 approximate expenditure of $44,536. For the support of nursery 

 and orchard inspection, quarantine service, the control of insecticides, 

 bee diseases and insects of unusual importance, all states but two made 

 provision for funds for orchard and nursery inspection ; twenty states 

 for bee inspection, fifteen states for control of insecticides, while eight
